UK Advertising Board Rules for Apple in Dispute over Thinnest Smartphone

"My humps, my humps, my ugly Samsung humps..."

You measure the height of a car according to roof height, not bonnet height. It is the same with phones, measure to the thickest point.

Thank god, I can finally rest easy tonight knowing which giant corporation produced the thinnest cell phone.

It's getting pretty ugly between these 2 companies now.

Apple could make a tiny chin and say the iPhone is 1mm thick.

The only way the iPhone could possibly become thinner would be to give it a larger footprint. Since the Android handset already has a larger footprint, they'd hardly be winning any design awards even if it WAS thinner. Apple are masters in compact design and have paved the way for other company's in reality. It's just a shame that many people scoff and say "Apple didn't create touch screen technology", or "hmm yeah, the phone was invented in 2007"... Because if it wasn't for Apple we would still have lagging interfaces like the Prada phone. They might not have invented the wheel, but they sure as hell perfected it.

Seriously, this long standing bitch fight between these two companies is tiresome and childish.

Please - STOP

i agree that it should be looked at the thickest points. those humps add thickness to the device. all measurements should be given that way.

Another Apple win.

Samsung needs to change out their legal team.

Or . . . stop messing with others' IP.

And a highly significant and important win it is. :rolleyes: :D

Made your day, did it? ;)

Another Apple win.

Except Apple, in most peoples' eyes, lost the 'Galaxy S infringement' case. All they managed to do was convince the judges that the Gallery app (which, btw, is built into every Android phone, and is not specific to Samsung) infringes on Apple's swiping patents.

Their main case (the Galaxy S looks exactly the same as the iPhone) was thrown out.

Just fyi.

Samsung needs to change out their legal team.

See above... they evidently do not.

Or . . . stop messing with others' IP.

The UK advertising board says that Apple has the right to claim that they have the thinnest smartphone. How does that have anything to do with Samsung 'messing' with Apple's IP?

Read up on what IP means, then post.

Either way, neither the iPhone 4 nor the GSII are the thinnest smartphone in the world. The NEC MEDIAS N-04C is, at 7.7mm thin (throughout the entire body). Even the waterproof N-06C is thinner than the iP4/GSII, at 7.9mm.



But then again neither are available in the UK so just ignore the above few lines :p
